We didn't do anything for New Year's Eve night and its all good. We were invited to Knott's New Year's Eve but I let the teens go. I knew they would be safe and I knew they would have fun. I loved going to Knott's Berry Farm as a teenager and now I'm passing the torch down to my kids. They had a blast! We were also invited to OC Fair's New Year's Eve Block Party but that didn't work out - flaky sitter and an 8 month old teether on a cold night. Years ago, I would've flipped out because our plans fell through but now, I chalk it up to "what's meant to be will be". Its easier to live life that way.
We didn't buy lucky food for the New Year. I made cheeseburgers! We didn't make resolutions. We didn't tell each other "2013 will be our year". Chris and I believe that if you want to change, you have the power to do it any day and at any time. Same goes for eating healthy, going on a diet, falling in love - things don't change magically at the stroke of midnight. I did have intentions of starting a new vision board before the year ended but I lagged. My current vision board still holds true to what my goals are for 2013.
Chris and the littles fell asleep early. I contemplated getting some cleaning in but decided to lounge around and hang out on Twitter. I wasn't alone, a lot of us were tweeting the night away - wished the East Coast a HNY and then celebrated a West Coast New Year. I fell asleep on the couch watching an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Got to sleep in, did a lil' cleaning with Chris, made a super fat breakfast and watched Diary of a Mad Black Woman (for the first time) on BET. It was very nice to just lounge around, not worry about having to go anywhere, meet a deadline... I played with the littles, cuddled and snuggled with them all day.
We can't base a whole year on the way the year ends and the new one begins. Stop doing that. I do have a wish for you, use it anytime, keep it as a lingering reminder. XOXO
